Rare signed photograph of the great Italian conductor who was considered Toscanini's successor before his tragic early death in a plane crash. A remarkable signed photograph inscribed to the violinist who was concertmaster of the NY Philharmonic from 1943 - 1966 and whose son is an important American composer. A handsome half-length portrait, showing an intense and focused Cantelli staring directly into the camera wearing a suit and tie with his arms crossed. Inscribed: "To John Corigliano in appreciation for his wonderful artistry. Guido Cantelli. March 10, 1952." 7.5 x 9.75 inches. Mounted on white heavy matte board and inscribed on wide lower white margin with tiny chip on top edge, otherwise in fine condition. A wonderful association/presentation photograph from one great artist to another.
